I have a half gallon tank {I know poor betta my dad got a cheap tank for me} would this heater work in my tank?

It will probably over heat it. There is no automatic turn off. Its made for a larger tank then that

yes - it's a good heater and should work fine - just be careful not to heat the water too much - you can seriously cook the fish - make sure you get one of those thermostats that attach to the outside of the tank -

Not sure, but if the old one is a low denisty 4500w heater, it will work. These heater rods are universal and will work. The main thing to make sure of is to try and take as much build up at the bottom of the tank so that when you put the new heater rod, it won't be surrounded by build up and overheat and stop working. Look on youtube for how to do it. Good luck!

This "tank" is only 2 gallons and the surrounding air in your home should be warm enough for any fish that would be suited for this little tank. Also, it's plastic, a heater would probably damage it...

I have used DB BETTASTIK MINI SUB HTR 7.5W with good results. Another that may work would be the Zoo Med BettaTherm Submersible Betta Bowl Heater.

Yes! I kept this heater in my 1 gallon corner tank in which I kept my betta fish. Depending on the species you plan to keep and their temperature preference you need to be careful because one gallon of water doesn't take much to heat. If you are using a light with the tank, this could add heat, too. If left on too long this heater can get the water in to the mid to high 80's, which is HOT... Too hot for most fish. I would absolutely recommend buying a cheap stick on thermometer... Usually within about 4 dollars. To summarize, this heater is acceptable for a 1 gallon tank. Probably one of the most fitting, actually. Just keep an eye on the temp. until you figure out your routine.

This is a very poor heater.... I would not use it in any tank... You need a heater that you can set to the correct temperature for your tank... This one is a great disappointment. I expected more from tetra

This *might* work for 2 gallons, but is listed for 1.5, which hopefully would work. I tried this yesterday to heat a 2 gallon tank and it could not get it over 76 degrees, which is not warm enough for a betta, which is what this heater is supposed to be for. I am sticking this one in a closet and using a 50W PetCo brand heater that is meant for 2-10 gallon tanks and has an adjustable temperature.

Yes. We have our heater installed on a 30 gallon tank and works just fine. A GREAT HEATER

Mine works great in my 5 gallon goldfish tank. I'd only hesitate using it for bettas because sometimes water currents can damage their delicate fins.

I have this heater fully submerged in a 5.5gal betta tank and I have had no problems with it. When you get the heater and actually see it you can tell it is sealed very well.

As long as the tank is either tall or wide enough to submerge the heater properly then yes this will work fine. I'd recommend adding the heater to the tank 24 hours before the fish, as it may need calibrated. There's a very easy to follow how-to video on youtube for "eheim jagar calibration" (or simular search should yield the link). Get your heater set up and heating the water to the proper temp then acclimate your betta to the tank (never drop a fish into a heated tank from a cold one, the shock may kill it or cause complications). If you must keep the fish in the tank keep a very close eye on the heater and adjust temperature very slowly to avoid stress to the fish which could cause unwanted issues. And just want to say "THANK YOU" in advance from your betta for getting it a heater! Too many forget they're tropical fish that like warmer water.

Yes.. I have both a slim heater and a bubble filter in the back... Works great. I have two of these tanks and my Bettas are both thriving! I will try to attach a pic for you..i hope this helps. I love my Bettas please let me know if u have further questions..

If you have a Minibow type 5 gallon, it should fit, the question is, will it separate the bettas adequately, and when I had it, it didn't.

I have the 12 gallon and it doesn't have a heater but one can be purchased for either size from Amazon Fluval EDGE 6 Gallon Aquarium - FLUVAL EDGE 25W COMPACT HEATER

Yes it is. I used mine in a 2 gallon acrylic tank for a Betta , and it worked fine. I recommend checking the heater periodically to make sure it's working properly.

yes, it work fine either way. We have a turtle tank with 7" of water, we put a 18" or so heater horizontally, no problems, water temp stay constant.

No, it will boil any fish in it. Grab a slightly bigger tank (no fish can go in a 1/2 gallon healthily) and no heater will work well for such a small size :(
